Egypt

Reports today are that unrest in Egypt is growing. Yesterday Egypt cut off internet access in an attempt to making it more difficult for protests to organize. Today protests are growing despite this:

Protests have erupted in across cities in Egypt following Friday prayers, with angry demonstrators seeking a change in government.

Rawya Rageh, Al Jazeera’s correspondent reporting from the port city of Alexandria, said protesters streamed out of mosques to chant slogans against Hosni Mubarak, the country’s president for 30 years.

Police reponded by firing tear gas in a bid to disperse the angry crowd.

Protests were also reported from Suez and the Nile Delta cities of Mansoura and Sharqiya, the Reuters news agency said quoting witnesses.
